And the Mud Goes, "Slurp Slurp Slurp"

Remember folks, sometimes it's good to check out the beach before you try to assault it. I wonder if Jeff (ex-Army) ever saw something like this go down?

Nope never saw something like that. Did see an M113 type track (With ~2 or 3 million dollars of equipment on it) roll over two CUCVs (Old style full size Chevy Blazers)

Also read about a brand new M48 tank being delivered to a unit in Vietnam. They didn't have any bridges that it could roll over to get to where it's unit was so they delivered it by landing craft. Landing craft rolled up to the beach and bottomed out ~20 or so feet from land. Tank rolled out of the landing craft right into a sink hole that was ~20 or so feet deep.

Crew bailed out of it no problem but they had to send it back for reconditioning.
